One of the main attractions in the famed city of Port Royal, Gloria’s ‘Rendevous’ stands as one of Kingston’s most respected restaurants. It is most popular for their steamed fish. With its original venue intact, and an impressive renovation and expansion of its street-side ‘tavernesque’ shop, Gloria’s is more than ready to accommodate and satisfy you and yours. Now in the city!
“We take the sea to the city, and Gloria’s does exactly that! Plus good vibes music 🎶 The jerk shrimp and buttery shrimp were packed with flavor, and the escovitch fish with festival and bammy was absolutely delicious. Every bite tasted fresh, like the ocean on a plate. To top it off, washing it all down with a cold D&G melon and lemon soda made the meal perfect. If you’re looking for authentic seafood with true island vibes, Gloria’s is the spot!”
We were greeted as soon as we entered, and information was given as it relates to our seats, the menu, the time frame for the food, the wifi password, etc We were seated, our order was taken, and delicious food was received in a timely manner, and during the wait time for the food, we were updated as it relates to the time frame to receive it. The atmosphere, food, staff, etc all great. Highly recommended
So I went to Gloria's restaurant on September 2nd. My sister wanted to take my mom's out to eat and other sisters and cousin and my niece.we park went upstairs. We was greeted taking to our seats and about 2 to 3 minutes. The waitress came back. Take our order for a food. going into a restaurant, I know, you know, usually they ask you if you want something to drink like some water. A glass would be on the table with some water where you can drink before you know, start your meal well, that wasn't there so my mom orders, steam fish bammy my sister also orders steam fish with bammy but then the waitress ask my other sister, what would you like? As your side order? Bammy, or crackers, I did not know that crackers is a side order. when you're steaming fish you put crackers in a steam fish. So my mom said, no I need bammy, cause I can go buy crackers. The meal came with toss salad. That salad tossed with nothing but vinegar.bammy look like it was saok in vinegar as well. bammy wasn't all that at all, wasn't what I was expected. This is my first time at that establishment. I've never ate there before my sister recommended because she said she ate there before and the food was good. It wasn't what I expected. I could've did a way better job and didn't have to spend that much money. And I won't be going back there, and that's for sure. The reason I gave the service a 3 star because she never came back and check on us If we was good, she was on her phone sitting when she didn't have customer to services and we asked for box to put the food up. But when we got that bill and look at that bill, I did not know when you ask for a to go box, you had to pay for it girl. We had to pay $,347.83 then Gratuity include, in your bill and then the waitress still asking you for tips, what did I pay Gratuity for.Thank but No Thank 😉 will not be eating there ever again!
Food came out cold after long wait. Waitress wasn’t proficient in hospitality. Card machine was down bring cash to avoid high atm fees & conversion rates. Back to port royal original location it is for me personally.
The person that welcomes you to a restaurant needs to be pleasant and welcoming. It stage tone for your meal and experience. The place needs some sprouting up can see the detoriation showing. The food was ok, had sufficient flavour but fritters an appetitizer item we told was finished.
